Stevens E-Whaka ES und Stevens E-Sledge ES – TLC for 2018

With 140/130 mm suspension, the Stevens E-Whaka ES has been nipped and pulled in all the right places for the coming season.

Stevens caused a stir when they became the first brand to launch a bike with the Shimano STEPS E8000 motor, although things were remarkably calm at their stand this year. It turns out that the brand have been concentrating their efforts on fine-tuning the well-known E-WHAKA ES as well as the E-SLEDGE ES. Both bikes are now the proud recipients of a 2.8″-wide Schwalbe Magic Mary front tire, and the E-SLEDGE ES also sports this model at the rear too. For both the top-of-the-range and the entry-level models Stevens will be relying on FOX forks.
